SPLENDA & Hives

I have been breaking out in hives and can not find a connection. Only after reading your page I am curious if Splenda is the culprit ?? I do not use it on a regular basis. but when I go out to a restaurant they usually have Diet Coke which I've been told now contains Splenda. And most of these occasions I break out but not every time. How can I tell for sure if it is the Splenda?

Hi Christy,

The best way to tell is to become a label reader and check everything that you eat or drink to see if it contains Splenda. If it does, don't take it. Within a week or two, depending on your prior breakouts, you should have a fairly good idea whether it is attributed to the Splenda or not.

We should always be aware that everything that we consume affects the body in some way...good or bad. The reason there is so much disease is because our immune system is always working so hard to keep up with all the junk foods that we eat. Eventually, the immune system cannot keep up and we start getting auto-immune diseases, where the immune system fights against itself. Some common Auto-Immune disease are Cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, Hives.....

Give it a try and see the results. Remember that our bodies are meant to glorify God, so we should honor Him in how we care for it. (1 Corinthians 3:16)

Take good care & God bless
